G3 on the pilot house...

Checking out all the day markers with the binoculars to be sure we didn't get lost.

And the real test...a weekend cruise!

This past weekend Sea Fever made her first overnight venture under the new captain (along with her primary crew, my grandson, G3).  We joined the Cruising Club of Charleston on the monthly cruise...this one to Church Creek, about 20 miles south of Charleston, off the ICW. We knew it was going to be a great adventure when, as we approached the  Ravenal Bridge, a pair of dolphins started waking our bow...they stayed for about 5 minutes and G3 was thrilled!

Sunsets are so much nicer in out on the water!

Time for some updates!

Sea Fever has gotten "out"!

We finished installation of the new auto pilot a couple of weeks ago and Paul and Pam went out for sea trial calibrations. Auto seemed to respond appropriately but when we worked our way through the calibration menu the options that were supposed to be there...weren't. Turns out those steps are now done automatically..so...DONE!!!

I got her back to the dock with out a problem!
